The day started off as a nice, cool, flannel wearing morning which quickly turned into a beautiful sunny day. The bittersweetness of the last day of camp was in the air as the campers got ready for their last day of camp. After a fun last day at camp, we ended the day with a final campfire which recognizes and congratulates campers on their achievements this summer. Camper and counselor commendations were given to the following:

We finished our final campfire ceremony by sharing our favorite memories from the session, hearing from our final year Greybeard campers as they shared some of their memories from their years as campers and singing the camp hymn one final time.

And of course we announced the winner of the first session banner…the BLACK BEARS!

 

It’s been another amazing session here at Camp Timberlake and we’re already excited for these amazing campers to be back next summer!
